The stove set up to heat this place in StJohn's in one of the buildings called a "Fish Stage."
Steve Topping

This stove started as a 1/8" think steel float for cod fishermen. I cut it in half, welded a 1/2" thick cooking plate on the bottom half and hinged the top half for use as an oven. It is air tight, has a port light from a ship and it has an "after burner" in the top of the fire box. The burner second burns gases in the top of the fire box, it saves about 30 percent of the wood fuel. Steve Topping
